Independent pop artist Estelle Fly is back with her first release of the year – ‘Bury It’ – a song about the power of unspoken attraction and the tension of deep yearning for someone you can’t fully have. ‘Bury It’ marks a defining new chapter in Estelle’s music career. Confident and unapologetically herself, the single embraces vulnerability and desire with newfound conviction, signalling a new era that pushes her sound forward while introducing herself to listeners old and new.
Estelle shared, “This song feels like both an ending and a beginning. It represents me beautifully closing the chapter of everything that’s brought me to this point, and introducing what I like to call an era where I am exploring the concept of desire. It’s an era where I finally have the freedom to explore ideas and emotions I’ve always wanted to write about. Not just about love, but also longing, vulnerability, confidence, attraction, and all the beautifully complicated parts of being human that I don’t always share openly. Sonically, I wanted ‘Bury It’ to feel intimate and somewhat hypnotic, almost like you’re caught in a memory you don’t really want to leave. Lyrically, there’s a lot that’s intentionally left unsaid that is expressed through the music. Sometimes the strongest emotions are not the ones we confess, but the ones that we keep to ourselves. With ‘Bury It’, I wanted to capture the tension of yearning for someone, but knowing you can’t fully have them. The feeling of the push and pull between wanting someone and choosing not to act on it is exciting, confusing and strangely addictive all at once. This feeling that we end up burying is usually the one that we remember the longest.”
In the music video for ‘Bury It’, Estelle plays an actor who is often cast as on-screen lovers with her co-star. Off camera, they’ve always been good friends, but over time, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. When two people are reminded by the world constantly about their chemistry, you start to wonder if the feelings are acted out or have always been there. Estelle Fly is one of the few pop artists from Singapore who strikes a fine balance between music and dance, having traversed through the entertainment scene in multiple roles as an idol and actress, and now an independent soloist. In 2025, Estelle released her latest EP ZONE and took to the stage at Waterbomb Singapore. This year, she has been selected as a Spotify RADAR artist and will be releasing new songs to mark her upcoming new era.

Singer-songwriter, host, and content creator Jazper Tiongson reflects on the different chapters of love, self-discovery, and new beginnings in his debut extended play (EP) “Mga Kabanata”, released under Star Music. Describing the project as one of his most personal yet, Jazper shared, “This album is the most honest I’ve ever been. I’ve spent years living these stories before finally writing and recording them. Every track represents a different season of my life, and I hope listeners find pieces of their own journey in them.”
Leading the six-track release is “Binabaliw”, a soaring pop anthem that captures the intoxicating feeling of being completely consumed by love. The EP also features “Tunay Na Ikaw”, “Patinig-Ibig”, “Deck”, “Anamat”, and “Bahaghari”, all written by Jazper and produced by Adonis Tabanda. Before pursuing a career in entertainment, Jazper worked in the corporate advertising industry. His journey took a different direction after a hosting opportunity led him to meet Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach whose encouragement became the turning point that inspired him to pursue hosting and music full-time. He shared, “I always had that aching for my passion which is hosting and music but I never had the confidence to do it. Back then, I was hosting a show where I met Pia Wurtzbach and that time I was looking for a sign if I should do this full time. After the show, I got a message from her asking if I’m open to be one of the hosts of Miss Universe Philippines.”
Since then, Jazper has established himself as a host, singer-songwriter, and content creator, steadily building an audience through his engaging online content and live hosting gigs. In 2025, he released his debut single “HELLO UNIVERSE”, an uplifting anthem about believing in yourself and chasing your dreams.
